15kms

Do you want to focus on something other than uni, and just grueling trail instead?  Here's your opportunity to experience an hour and a half of mild (or more) pain in the lungs, bums and calves.

We will be meeting again at the Dights Falls picnic area to start and finish.  Meeting at 8am for an 8:15 start, the first few ks will be flat and easy to warm up before we struggle up every hill I could find in the park (total elv. 332m). It will flatten out at km 12 before one final push at 14, we will then cruise down back to the picnic tables.

The route takes us through technical terrain (mud, exposed rocks and roots), shared bikes paths and over major roads. So, please run according to the conditions and do not push yourself beyond your technical skills.  The forecast is predicting cool weather and a chance of showers so please bring the appropriate layers. 

Given the distance this is a good opportunity to play with fuel, water and electrolytes, despite the cold conditions.


(please note that if you are experiencing unusually large quantities of pain during the run you should notify the trip leader)
